| contents | We investigate flame-acoustic interactions in a turbulent combustor during the state of intermittency before the onset of thermoacoustic instability using complex networks. Experiments are performed in a turbulent bluff-body stabilized dump combustor where the inlet airflow rate is varied quasi-statically and continuously. We construct a natural visibility graph from the local heat release rate fluctuations at each location. Comparing the average degree during epochs of high and low amplitude acoustic pressure oscillations during the state of intermittency, we detect frequency modulation in local heat release rate signals. Through this approach, we discover unique spatial patterns of cross-variable coupling between the frequency of heat release rate fluctuations and the amplitude of acoustic pressure fluctuations. The frequency of heat release rate lfuctuations increases in regions of flame anchoring owing to high-frequency excitation of the flow and flame during epochs of high-amplitude acoustic pressure dynamics. On the other hand, the frequency of heat release rate fluctuations decreases in regions associated with flame front distortions by large coherent vortices. In experiments with continuously varying airflow rates, the spatial pattern of frequency modulation varies with an increase in the average amplitude of acoustic pressure fluctuations owing to an increase in the epochs of periodic acoustic pressure dynamics and the size of vortices forming in the flow. Dynamic shifts in the location of flame anchoring induce low-frequency fluctuations in heat release rate fluctuations during very high-amplitude intermittent acoustic pressure dynamics. Our approach using conditional natural visibility graphs thus reveals the spatial pattern of amplitude-frequency coupling between the co-evolving flame and the acoustic field dynamics in turbulent reacting flows. |
